As per the title, my garage has said they might need to change the top-hats when fitting the Whiteline control springs, so any ideas where to go for them in the UK (and get them shipped over here)?
Thanks
Simon

Thanks, Elmy, I was hoping to avoid main dealers! I'll see how much they want, and then make an appointment to see my bank manager :icon_wink:
Ye. tell this gary your a forum member. I heard he gives nicer price then.
Edit: On the bright side. I been awake for around 22 hours now. I feel great. :lol:
I know that had nothing to do with this. hehe

That's a good source, thanks Nich, but at £59 front and £69 rear it's starting to look expensive... I presume the price is a unit price?
Cheers Don, I'll get my Swiss german speaking colleague to have a quick look at that for me!
True... (makes mental note to deny Scots ancestry...) :icon_eek:
If you can hang on im replacing mine?
but the only reason to change is if you want adjustable, or there is a known problem
seems I would swop it all out and only replace whats broken
I was advised that to go as far as replacing springs and struts, and then not to replace your top mounts, might be false economy, if once they have been changed it starts a bumping and a knocking

That sounds like an offer to good to refuse... you're replacing the original ones or the adjustable top mounts you were talking about earlier?
I was supposed to be getting it done the week after next, but the mechanic is going away for the weekend.
The mechanic said it was likely that they'd be a bit worn, and "stuck" on to the car. I'm not aware of any problems with the ones I have, and was going to change the struts next year (and thought about doing the tophats then).

Ok, how old are they?
The "boss" doesn't even know about the springs yet... :evilatyou:
91k in miles... ? (I'm at 155,000km) it's probably not worth my changing from mine, buts thanks very much for the offer.
